Max's Restaurant

One of the setbacks of living outside Metro Manila is the limited available restaurants willing to deliver food. Today is Valentine's Day and being a country with romantic people, I am very sure that if ever me and hubby attempt to dine elsewhere we'll be having problems -- traffic, parking and overcrowded restaurants.

I've been craving for chicken. Not just any chicken. I'm ALWAYS craving for Max's. We are actually a regular of Max's Robinson's Metro East. I am a registered user of Max's Restaurant Online. I have ordered last June 2011 but had the food for pick-up at Max's SM Masinag. I was not sure if they will deliver to my place but still gave it a try.

Yey! Max's delivers to my place! I received a call after five minutes. I was told the nearest branches that can deliver are Sta Lucia and Antipolo. I was told that it might take a little longer than the usual delivery time. NO PROBLEM! I can wait. I'm simply glad enough that they will deliver to my place. And I'm very impressed with the customer service who called me up. She sounded cheerful and very accommodating. Not the usual robotic customer service I encounter.

I ordered Kare-kare (not in picture) and two Platter Meal. I upgraded my Pepsi (add 26.25 if you prefer in can). I think the food arrived earlier than expected because the delivery originated from Circumferential Rd in Antipolo. This branch is nearer compared to Sta Lucia. The delivery man is also very personable. It was unfortunate I was not able to get their names. They are highly commendable.

I did not notice that there is something special with the caramel bar until hubby pointed it out.
